That win secured the overall world cup title for the Ukrainian, with one race remaining - as France’s Pauline Ferrand Prevot (Canyon Factory Racing RC) finished second, 44 seconds behind, with Pendrel a further 30 seconds behind in third.

Last stays sixth in the standings, just 60 points behind the second-placed rider. Switzerland’s Linda Indergand.

Under-23 women

Prior to this weekend, Isla Short’s career best finish at the world cup was eighth place in Vallnord, Andorra earlier this season.

The OMX Pro Team rider got off to a flying start, as high as sixth after the first lap, and just over a minute and a half behind eventual race winner, the American Kate Courtney (Specialized Racing).

Short dropped a place on the second lap and then lost time on the third lap - but her work in the earlier phase of the race had built up a gap.

She crossed the line 6:20 behind Courtney to claim seventh - a terrific result on a challenging course.

Second place went to Switzerland’s Sina Frei (JB Brinex Felt Team), 2.31 behind the American with Lucie Urruty (Scott Creuse Oxygene Gueret) third, a further 1:05 behind.

The result means Short is now up to 11th in the standings, with Great Britain Cycling Team’s Evie Richards in third despite her absence in Canada.
